Meghan’s animated show Pearl dropped by Netflix – as streaming giant grapples with subscriber losses

The duke and duchess signed a multimillion-pound deal with Netflix in 2020 after they made the shock announcement that they were stepping back as senior royals earlier that year.

It was announced they would be producing films and series for the streaming platform, including scripted series, docu-series, documentaries, features and children’s programming.

Following its drop in subscribers, Netflix has seen its share value cut in half over the past six months as investors have grown increasingly concerned by the change in fortunes.

The streaming giant said Archewell Productions remains a valued partner and will continue to work with it on a number of projects, including the documentary series Heart Of Invictus.

A camera crew was seen close to Harry and Meghan during their time at the Invictus Games in The Hague, Netherlands, last month – believed to be part of the series which follows people competing at the event.

When Pearl was announced last July, the duchess said: “Like many girls her age, our heroine Pearl is on a journey of self-discovery as she tries to overcome life’s daily challenges.

“I’m thrilled that Archewell Productions, partnered with the powerhouse platform of Netflix, and these incredible producers, will together bring you this new animated series, which celebrates extraordinary women throughout history.
